?Chapter 340: Chapter 341 Search (3)_1 Chapter 340: Chapter 341 Search (3)_1 Liang Chen’s villa, located in the suburbs of Jiangshan, rarely receives any traffic, let alone during the snowy night of the Spring Festival.
Jing Haohao walked down the highway for half a day, yet she didn’t see a single person or car.
On the road, there were only two streetlights dimly illuminating a small distance ahead, and they were widely spaced apart.
Scattered on both sides of the highway were beautiful villies, but many of them were unoccupied.
When Jing Haohao was pushed out of the villa by Liang Chen, she was only wearing slippers. After walking in the snow for a while, the snow soaked her shoes due to her body heat, making her extremely uncomfortable.
The snow was getting heavier. Jing Haohao could even hear the fluttering sound of the falling snow, and her body was so cold, she had lost all sensation.
Jing Haohao felt colder and colder, so much so that she didn’t even feel the chill when snowflakes landed on her. The soles of her feet were wet and cold, they felt like ice prickling her, causing a mild pain.
She felt her strength dwindling, and her steps became more difficult.
She wondered if she might freeze to death before she made it down the mountain. She had been thrown out with nothing, penniless. Even if she managed to flag down a taxi at the bottom of the mountain, she wouldn’t be able to afford the fare. She knew she hadn’t gone too far. If she turned back and apologized to Liang Chen, she could return to the warm, luxurious cage, take a comfortable hot bath, and then sleep sweetly in a high-quality silk quilt.
However, Jing Haohao didn’t stop for anything, she stubbornly pressed on down the mountain with her stiff legs.
Even if she would really die in this icy, snowy landscape, she refused to turn back and beg him, refused to apologize to him.
Being with him, she felt like a caged bird with broken wings, devoid of freedom, temper, and thinking.
Despite her reluctance, she had to share a bed with him every day and night.
His temper was so frightening that everyone feared him. Being an ordinary woman, she was scared too. Therefore, no matter how much she resented or hesitated, she couldn’t express it. She endured as much as she could, and even when she couldn’t, she still endured. She dared not express her temper, dared not openly defy him. Even when she was having a bad day, she had to maintain a calm demeanor.
Once upon a time, she wasn’t like this… When she was happy, she laughed, and when she was sad, she cried.
That man forced her to stay with him, not only depriving her of her body and freedom, but also controlling her emotions and thoughts.
At times, he was really good to her. She wasn’t oblivious to this. She even started to get used to such a life until recently… His warning, Qiao Wennuan’s questioning, the looks from others… They all suddenly woke her up.
Qiao Wennuan asked him if he would marry her… He hesitated… Even though he eventually answered with words that saved her face, she was not a fool. She understood that his hesitation indicated that there would be no future between them.
Actually, she never hoped he would marry her. Even if he did ask, she wouldn’t be willing to marry him. She understood that he was only interested in her body.
She was only twenty… Twenty-year-old girls are usually fighting for their future, for a better life. But she… She could only helplessly watch as her happiness diminished bit by bit by him.
